抖阴旅行射 Boulder ranks among top schools in nation for students studying abroad
The number of University of Colorado Boulder students studying abroad is increasing at a rate that outpaces the national average, according to a from the Institute for International Education.
Nearly 2,000 抖阴旅行射 Boulder students studied abroad last year, with international academic experiences ranging from weeklong class trips to more traditional semester-long programs.
That鈥檚 a nearly 8% increase from the 2016-2017 school year, said 抖阴旅行射 Boulder Education Abroad Director Mary Dando, compared to the nearly 3% increase across the country.
抖阴旅行射 Boulder ranks fifth nationally for universities sending students on semester-long study programs, according to the report, and ranks 26th for the total number of students earning academic credit abroad.
Associate Professor Suzanne Magnanini teaches a in Florence, Italy, on Dante Alighieri鈥檚 鈥淚nferno.鈥
鈥淒ante describes hell as a city, and he makes references to specific architectural structures or generic structures, so it really enriches it for students who maybe have never traveled outside of the U.S.,鈥 she said. 鈥淗aving that chance to see what Dante is talking about up close, to climb the towers he mentions, it adds so much to the poem.鈥
It鈥檚 a tiring three weeks for Magnanini, but in a good way, because students are so engaged and making so many connections they鈥檙e constantly asking questions.
Experiences like the Global Seminars give students a chance to study abroad who can鈥檛 fit the traditional semester or year model into their education, Magnanini said.
鈥淲e have students who are athletes, who work all summer, who have family obligations, and I think these are great because they provide another option for students, and they allow everyone the possibility to try their hand at study abroad,鈥 she said.
